-Abstract-
Most primary gastrointestinal lymphomas are B-cell origin. T-cell lymphomas of the
intestine comprise the small portion of gastrointestinal lymphomas. Peripheral T-cell
lymphomas (PTCL) rarely affect the gastrointestinal tracts at their initial presentation
and the majority of primary gastrointestinal PTCL involve the small intestine. There has
been few reports about the diffuse and extensive involvement of gastrointestinal tracts
by PTCL. In Korea, there has been no report of a primary tracts are abdominal pain,
gastrointestinal bleeding, perforation, and diarrhea. However, these are not sufficient for
the correct diagnosis. Several other gastrointestinal diseases may mimic PTCL. Its low
incidence and clinical similarity to other gastrointestinal diseases make a correct
diagnosis difficult. We report a case of primary gastrointestinal PTCL involving the
whole gastrointestinal tracts, which rarely cases massive bleeding, with a review of
literatures.
